Yes, those are good reasons.  It also means that if you switch to the 
standard Wireframe renderer, you'll still get a fair approximation of 
your scene, color-wise; and if the texture gets booted out of VRAM 
for some reason, you again get at least a reasonable approximation of 
your object (e.g., a brown tree trunk instead of a flaming orange 
one).

Yes, I think it might need to be.
